Integrating one-on-one nurse-led eczema education into dermatology outpatient consultations enables patient outcomes, self-efficacy skills and patient/carer satisfaction: a pilot study
This project proposes a unique care model integrating dermatologist consultations with dedicated nurse-led patient education, aiming to empower patients and improve self-efficacy in managing their eczema. Eczema necessitates extensive patient education for effective management, however the current healthcare model struggles to provide sufficient time for this education, especially in regional areas where access to dermatologist is limited. The study will evaluate this model’s impact on patient outcomes, satisfaction, and potentially influence healthcare policy decisions.
